Raymor, you are kidding right?
bittorrent didn't partner with the movie producers to give away stuff, but rather to distribute DRM encoded stuff that requires the end user to BUY access to the movies. It is a money grab. In the meantime, bittorrent (and all other torrent sites) are packed full of the worst crap of the internet.
As for ISPs, the issue is always bandwidth. They want to sell it, but they don't want to pay for it. Their idea is always to buy one t1 worth of bandwidth, and sell it 100 times over, hoping not everyone wants it at the same time.
ISPs know that the current state of internet technology leaves them in the shit if the widespread use of the internet for things like joost comes into play. distributed P2P networks put incredible strains on ALL ISPs, even if you end users aren't downloading at the moment because often their machines are being used as nodes anyway.
ISPs end up having to buy tons more bandwidth themselves to keep things from being slow, all while not being able to pass those costs on to the end users.
It's not exactly difficult to figure out the issues.
